Food Date Labeling Act of 2025

This bill standardizes voluntary date labels on food packaging by requiring "BEST If Used By" (or "BB" for short) for quality dates and "USE By" (or "UB" for short) for discard dates. Manufacturers may choose whether to use these labels, but if they do, they must follow specific formatting rules (e.g., prominent placement, month/year format) and avoid conflicting state requirements. It excludes infant formula from the labeling rules and prohibits states from imposing different labeling standards. The law also mandates consumer education on label meanings within two years of enactment.
